Now, as you read this, just remember, I am in no means an expert on life. Quite opposite, I am a teenage girl, who is continuously learning every day and acquiring new experiences as we speak. There is always a way, whether hard to seek.. to find a light in the dark. There is always happiness and positivity amidst the darkness that life does contain.
Let Go. Letting go of your past is so important. Leave everything that has happened in the past and move on. You are a new person today.
Accept Change. Change is not always bad. Change is God's way of saying he has something EVEN better for you and his way of opening the door of growth in your life.
Everything happens for a reason. You may not know why exactly, but it does. Believe me. Like the glass half full, half empty analogy- it all depends on how you perceive it.
Live in the moment. We often live looking forward to something like the weekend, our birthday or when we graduate.. and sometimes we forget to just live in the moment. You will never get this moment back. You will never be this age again. You will never have the opportunities and learning experiences ever again. Take full advantage.
Just breathe. Life can be so overwhelming at times, and it's important to breathe and realize that life can pass by so fast and sometimes we're so busy to even notice.
Appreciate your family. Especially your parents, we're so caught up on our own lives that we forget that your parents are growing older everyday. Appreciate how much love they have for you. Appreciate your siblings too.. it's nice knowing you always have siblings that will always be there for you and that you can hang out with all the time.
Celebrate the good. There are many things in life to celebrate and take pride in. So often in life we are so focused on the negative when life is filled with joy and love too.
Don't dwell on the negative. Negativity enjoys company. As a quote I once read says, "An entire water of sea can't sink a ship unless it gets inside a ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can't put you down unless you allow it to get inside you."
Move on. Move on from that person, that event, and leave it in the past or whatever your thinking about when your reading this.
Surround yourself with positive influences. Surround yourself with people that love and care about you. Forget about anyone else. Once you learn to be happy, you won't tolerate being around people who make you feel anything less.
Realize that your happiness does not rely on anyone other than yourself. You are the one who controls your happiness regardless of what anyone else says.
Do what makes you happy. There are only two rules in life. If it makes you happy, do it. If it doesn't, then don't.
Follow your dreams. people are going to hate you, bash you and doubt you.. but that's where the fun part comes. You prove them wrong. Work hard and see what they say after.
Stop caring about what other people think. At the end of the day, they don't matter at all.
Take a risk and venture into the unknown. You never know, that maybe, just maybe, something good will happen.
Work hard but don't forget to take a break if you need too.
Don't be so hard on yourself. Life's tough but your tougher. You are a human being, You make mistakes and are not perfect, so don't be so strict on yourself!
Set goals. Strive to achieve them, you can do anything or get anywhere if you want it bad enough. Realize your potential.
Realize that your purpose in life is not to please anyone. It doesn't matter what he or she said, all that matters at the end of the day is what you think.
You're alive. You woke up this morning.. which some people don't realize is such a blessing. God is giving you another shot at life and for that, you have so much to be happy about.
Don't take life so seriously. No one gets out alive anyways.
Don't be so negative. Don't be the person that says "I hate doing this" or "I can't" or "I'm too lazy.." Small talk like this can be so influential on other people.
Enjoy the little things. Whether it's a hi from a stranger, a smell of your neighbours flowers, a cup of tea, the chair that your sitting on.. there are so many things in life that can make you happy and feel blessed. Never take those things for granted. There is always something to be thankful for.
Remember that every day may not be good, but there is always something good in everyday.
Delete the toxic people in your life. You don't need them. Stop letting people who do so little for you, control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions.
Don't forget to love yourself first. How do you expect people to love you when you don't even love yourself?
You have a purpose. You were made and put on this earth for a purpose.. and no matter how shitty your feeling today, you are alive and you are blessed.
